Picking out an outfit for a date night can be especially frustrating. Solving the “what should I wear?” crisis is never fun, but it can certainly be a bit easier. Consider a few of these great show stopper outfits as possible solutions to the date night dress dilemma.

First up is the Burca dress by Velvet by Graham and Spencer. This dress features a great boat neckline and added details like a big silver zipper in back. The dress is also tapered so it fits tighter at the waist than around the bustline. The modern look is perfect for that date night and the slinky rayon fabric is to die for. Wearing this over leggings as a tunic for a more casual look or with high boots gives you multiple options to help make this dress even more versatile. Ideal date night occasions for this dress include: dinner at your favorite fancy restaurant, or art gallery or museum event.

Next up consider the Dita V Neck Ruffle Dress by designer Ella Moss. This great dress has a vintage style that always reminds us of something you’d see on the show Mad Men. With ruffles accenting the deep v neck line and the dress flares at the waist. Of course we love the vintage style polka dot pattern too. A great dress for a number of occasions which will help make sure you get your money’s worth out of this dress. Ideal date night occasions for this dress include: the theatre, weddings and just about any other party.

Next consider the Modal Jersey Scoop Neck Dress by Splendid. This dress is elegant and simple with the ruffles around the neckline and the racerback detail in back. With simple lines and a classic look, this dress is versatile and elegant. As its name denotes it is made with modal jersey fabric which is the perfect blend of luxurious and comfortable. It is machine washable, yet so soft to the touch that you really hate to take it off. Ideal date night occasions for this dress include: summer barbeque and dinner and a movie.

Finally, consider another statement dress with the Doreen Cut Out Dress by Velvet by Graham and Spencer. This dress in a beautiful purple color called Gazelle. Featuring cutouts in the sleeves at the base of the shoulders, this dress has a surprising modernity that we adore. Part sleeves of Velvet’s Gauzy Whisper collection, this dress features a lightweight cotton, it is lined and gives you a perfect classy dress with a slight twist or edge. We love the look of this dress again with high boots in a contrasting grey or other bold color and of course this dress looks elegant in your favorite pair of statement heels. Ideal date night occasions for this dress include: the theatre, dinner out, art gallery and any party /event.

In short, you can find a variety of great dresses that can help make the date night dress dilemma a little bit easier. Hopefully these are a few ideas that will help give you ideas for your own wardrobe and help give you ideas of some of the best places to wear these dresses on your next date night.
